Redesign the new status flow
As a user I want to post a new status with pleasure and simplicity.
I think it should go like this:
+--------------+
| |
| |
| /-----\ |
| | gal | |
| \-----/ |
| |
| /-----\ |
| | cam | |
| \-----/ |
+--------------+
You pressed a FAB to get here, so present another FAB in the same spot for taking a picture with a camera. Above it is a secondary FAB for selecting an image from the gallery. (Do that as a separate ticket.)
Take a picture. Then:
+--------------+
| the |
| picture |
| |
| |
| |
|--------------|
|[ descr ][o ]|
|[ here ][ k]|
+--------------+
You are shown the picture and you can edit it. Here, the only edit option is to add a description. Maybe later we'll get fancy.
Oh there should be something here about discarding this picture? Though pressing Back will do that too.
+--------------+
|+--+ [o ]|
||p | [ k]|
|+--+ /-----\ |
| | gal | |
| \-----/ |
| |
| /-----\ |
| | cam | |
| \-----/ |
+--------------+
After you are done editing, the pictures accumulate on this screen. The "OK" in the top right is actually "Next". Pressing "cam" or "gal" will add more pictures from the camera or gallery, respectively. Tapping on a picture gives you edit functionality. There should be a way to discard pictures from here, too.
+--------------+
|+------------+|
|| preview ||
|| picture ||
|| ||
|+------------+|
|--------------|
|[ cw ] [s]|
| |
|[ caption][o ]|
|[ here ][ k]|
+--------------+
Pressing "Next" brings you to a WYSIWYG preview screen. All your images as you would see them (status.xml
), but you can add CW, mark them all as sensitive, and add a caption. The OK button here is labeled "Share".
Max number of attachments? Max file size?
